Jambo Shameen!
Welcome to planDisney! Thanks for stopping by with a great question. With so much to see and do in the theme parks, knowing how to get between them quickly and efficiently will certainly help you make the most of your time!
Shameen, it sounds like you have tickets that include the
Park Hopper Option and I love your plan to start at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. This park typically has the earliest opening time of the four theme parks and the morning rides on
Kilimanjaro Safaris often provide some great opportunities to catch a glimpse of some pretty active wildlife! Since you're heading there first thing in the morning, I suggest stopping by
Creature Comforts for a cup of coffee and a Mickey Colossal Cinnamon Roll! You'll find this Quick-Service location on Discovery Island, the central hub of the theme park.
Bus transportation is available between the theme parks to assist Guests with park hopping, however,
transportation to a given theme park typically ends about an hour after the park closes. Since Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park usually closes much earlier than
Magic Kingdom Park, you will probably be better off driving your car when you're ready to change parks. Worried about
parking fees? Hakuna Matata! Simply save your parking receipt from Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park and you'll be able to enjoy parking at any theme park for the remainder of the day with no extra charges! There is even a handy
Car Locator feature in your
My Disney Experience Mobile App to help you remember where you parked.
Shameen, I hope this information is helpful and that you enjoy a wonderful visit to Walt Disney World Resort! If you have any other questions, please stop by to see us again here at planDisney!
Cheers!
Kristi
